The Amity Affliction es una banda australiana de post-hardcore/metalcore que logró cautivar a millones de seguidores alrededor del mundo con sus letras emocionales y potentes melodías. La banda se fundó en 2003 en Gympie, Queensland. Los miembros fundadores, Ahren Stringer y Troy Brady, comenzaron a tocar juntos en la escuela secundaria, y después de algunos cambios en la formación, finalmente se establecieron como una fuerza a tener en cuenta en la escena del metalcore.
En 2008, lanzaron su primer álbum de estudio, "Severed Ties". Este trabajo no solo mostró su habilidad musical, sino que también destacó por su capacidad para abordar temas personales y emocionales. Canciones como "I Heart H.C." y "Stairway to Hell" dejaron una marca en los fanáticos del género, posicionando a la banda como una promesa emergente.
El verdadero ascenso de The Amity Affliction comenzó con su segundo álbum, "Youngbloods", en 2010. Con una producción más pulida y letras profundamente personales, la banda empezó a ganar terreno internacional. La canción "Anchors" se convirtió en un himno para muchos y la crítica elogió su capacidad para balancear la agresividad musical con melodías pegajosas.
La consolidación de su éxito vino con el lanzamiento de "Chasing Ghosts" en 2012. Este álbum no solo alcanzó el número uno en las listas de álbumes de ARIA (la principal lista musical en Australia), sino

We dance to this dead beat with eyes locked on the prize
This is our fatal disease, named you and me
It's killing us all won't you set it free?
I'll hang you on the wall and call you misery
So here's to you and here's to us, to everything that ever fell apart
Nights wasted getting wasted, days we lost to our mistakes
So we'll never be lost 'till we're all alone
And we'll never be wrong till we're on our own
So wake up and we'll drink for two again
And we'll never be right till we read our wrongs
And we'll never be done with these same old songs
So wake up we'll wait for you again (again)
Like frozen appendages in boiling water
We're going to extremes and not getting warmer
So hold your breath, and I'll do the same
Are we just holding back those words we couldn't say?
So hold your breath I'll do the same
Are we just holding back those words we
I'll take the blame for your heart attack
And we'll sever these ties with a fucking pact
Through blood we share the world it's anybody's guess
Where we'll end up, our lives are just a fucking mess?
And we're sinking
So we'll never be lost 'till we're all alone
And we'll never be wrong till we're on our own
So wake up and we'll drink for two again
And we'll never be right till we read our wrongs
And we'll never be done with these same old songs
So wake up we'll wait for you again (again)

He lays himself to rest even though he's making perfect sense?
His story goes untold I read his words to see the end unfold
So we'll never be lost 'till we're all alone
And we'll never be wrong till we're on our own
So wake up and we'll drink for two again
And we'll never be right till we read our wrongs
And we'll never be done with these same old songs
So wake up we'll wait for you again (again)
